Wayne the calculator can provide some useful information. A 26 gram load is a little heavier than 7/8 ounce. If I add 34.1 grains for a AA wad and use 15 grains as an estimate for the powder charge that 980 fps load is generating 8 ft lbs recoil in my 8 lb gun. That's 27% less recoil than my 1200 fps 7/8 load. That is going to be a very mild load.
